Hear Music

Film music is used to accompany the story line of a film and helps to create the world of the film in a sonic sense that will affect the viewer subconsciously. It is a defining element in the ambience of a film’s atmosphere, capable of turning a situation from sedentary to tense in a single chord change. It provides a sonic narrative of the plot development, normally moving to different themes and suites for different scenes. People can hear a melody or a movement from their favourite film and…

Bessie Smith has had a strong influence in blues music, calling her “the empress of the blues”. Smith’s strong and rich voice was stunning and full of soul. Smith’s vocal range was powerful, even though she appears to be a contralto. The technical proficiencies of Smith’s vocal sound appear to be controlled and clear. Smith’s voice filled the room, hitting one’s ears smoothly and was powerfully inviting. When comparing the voice of Bessie Smith to Alberta Hunter’s, in particular “Sugar”, both…

Listening to music plays a beneficial role to the way young children’s bodies develop. Studies have been linked to show that movement and heart rate can be calmed for a baby in the womb that listens to music. Allowing the baby to hear music from inside the womb allows the heart rate to be reduced, and to not work as hard. Listening to classical music in intensive care units has shown that babies in the units, gain more weight, leave the hospital earlier, and have a better chance of survival.…

enhance music and help listeners interpret a story. Words complement the music. A great song would be one that entrails a person and that holds many dynamics. If used correctly, words are used to place meaning and to enhance the piece. When used incorrectly, it can give off a negative notion. If the words don't give meaning to the piece then it mind as well just be noise. I think this because without proper storytelling it gives no connection for the listener to indulge in. This is why music…

Music. It’s just a five letter word that may only mean to people, the sounds that come out of the radio or what they have downloaded into their iPods or even the background to an amazing new dance craze, but it means so much more than that to me. Songwriters in my opinion take the time to pull out that pen and paper to write down what they know, experienced, and felt to make into a melody so that others can relate to what they have and know that there is someone out there just like them. When…

What is sheet music? Is it a magical piece of writing that only musicians can read and that allow them to play their instruments like experts? No, sheet music is just a form of musical notation, be it written by hand or printed. Normally sheet music is like its other printed kin in that it is usually found printed on paper. Before paper was a readily available medium parchment was the medium of choice. Now in the computer age "sheet" music is also readily available online as well. One of the…

like they were taking more breaks than playing. I wish I was able to hear longer songs to get more of an idea of the music that they were playing. From the songs that I heard, I gathered that the music was a type of Irish music. The instruments used were a violin and a flute. There were about three other instruments, but I was unsure of the names. All of the instruments were either aerophones or chordophones, so the music sounded nicely together. One of the instruments, which was a…

Serena Slie had this amazing idea to play music through-out the scenes. This idea was great, because the music complements the mood. In theatre, music usually is used to set the mood, atmosphere, and tone. In my opinion, to have music play throughout the entire production is a stronger statement. When the actors deliver their lines, the music helps to develop their character’s emotions, characterization, and the meaning of the lines. Jatavious has great projection. He projected so well that I…

A few prime examples are writing, painting, debating, and music. I personally express myself is through playing my trombone and creating music. Whether it is in Marching Band, Symphonic Band, or the Church Orchestra I show the world how I feel, think, and believe. Through music I convey my emotions to anyone who will listen, but depending on what I play and who is listing the world responds in very different ways. Not only has music and band taught and helped me express my emotions, they…

Music reflects culture. It is a central means by which a group asserts its relationship to past generation, distinguishes insiders from outsiders, and addresses the future. Music have been always part of our live, our culture, ourselves. Music have become the symphony and rhythms that motivate us to continue when we have fallen or encountered difficulties. When we are sad, cool, hungry, depressive or even happy, we humans just think of one thing, hear that song, that special song that would make…
